Prior to having the surgery at the Cosmos Clinic...
WORTH IT
Prior to having the surgery at the Cosmos Clinic by Dr Ajaka, some years back I was quite fit and my body was not like it was upon my pre surgery photo's. This being to a back injury,major depressive disorder as a result of my previous employment.
The objective for me was to achieve some confidence in myself again and improve the overall look on my bodies shape/appearance.
I thought about it for over 18 months. Weighing up my options, however, one thing always remained, that was, If I do this, I want Dr Joseph AJAKA to do the surgery. I did not know the Dr personally, no friends of mine had. I had simply seen him on Ch7 several times. I was always impressed with how he carried himself. He wasn't there simply to promote himself or the Cosmos Clinic, I could tell this was a man who was very professional and just had this wealth of knowledge and thrived on helping people like myself. He seemed very down to earth, approachable, kind and caring.
After my first meeting with Dr Ajaka, I can confirm that all my thoughts about this fine doctor were true. He is a wonderful person and the best at what he does. I would only recommend you see Dr Ajaka.
I have been to other clinics before for fillers, botox and they were all sell sell sell. One being laser clinics I had to do sykpe with the doctor. The other clinic near Randwick Childrens Hospital, sure the doctor was nice but I could just see him counting his bank account account "another client", he took advantage of my depression and exploited it.
It's important to note with my previous job I was a trained professional at a number of things. One being to read a person's body language. As humans we project some 70-75% in non verbal communication.
As in regards to Dr Ajaka, there was no uptight attitude, he was very friendly, professional. Dr Ajaka, went so far as to not wanting to perform the operation on myself due to my health problems.
The reason being this procedure is fantastic. Just look at my pictures. However, it doesn't mean you can eat kfc, pizza and not do anymore exercise. It all comes together with a balanced nutritional diet and exercise. Thus, I was insistent and Dr Ajaka was kind enough to proceed.
I still have my up's and downs and physical challenges, however, Dr Ajaka has restored my confidence in myself and i'm now at a level where I can only grow from the procedure I had done. Dr Ajaka exceeded my expectations and the rest is now up to me. I'm determined to get there and not give up. I have Dr Ajaka and his team of staff to thank for that.
The pro's
Improve my self esteem
Change my body composition
Look better
Feel Better
On going support from Dr Ajaka himself, nurses.
Massages included after procedure to help reduce swelling and improve results.
The con's
For me personally none existed really, it was something I needed and was willing to go thru whatever was needed to achieve my self worth once again. For others I have listed a few that maybe an issue for them.
1. Having the procedure done in winter instead of summer. Wearing the garment 24 hours a day can be quite hot.
2. some slight discomformt, however, the lymphatic massages provided by Cosmos Clinic (included in your package assist greatly)
I strongly advise that you all follow the instructions by staff as you will receive the best possible results for yourself. This includes following the information sheets for self care after the procedure and massaging yourself twice daily for 30 mins.
I simply listened to music and put my phone on timer.

Great results for 2 months, with Vaser when will you expect to see full results? How soon did you start massages? I'm 7 days post lipo and waiting for the bruising to go

thanks. It can take up to 3 months for you to get your final results from the Vaser. By week 3 most of your swelling will have subsided. Keep up with the massages as that will help. Have Epson salt baths from day 10 to 15 and also rub the salt around your incisions. This helps with the healing process. Don't worry it doesn't hurt. With regards to exercise just do walking from about week 2/3 depending how your feeling. By week for swimming is great as it doesn't hurt where you have had the procedure done. Week 5 I tried to run and the flanks really hurt. Now they are fine but I still massage myself as it is still a bit tender.
You will find the first 10 days is the hardest. By week 4 you can really see the difference even with some swelling still present. If you maintain a healthy diet and exercise as you can your gains by 12 weeks will be even more evident.

Sorry, I started massages after the second day. The first two weeks you just gently massage the area. As the pain and swelling fades you then should go a bit harder. I'm now at the point when I do deep tissue like massages. Just helps greatly with scar tissue and any fat deposits from turning lumpy. This can be fixed with prp if required. Speak to your dr about that when you get to this point.

DJC.....thanks for sharing. It truly has helped seeing a male at the same age getting the procedure done. I'm really impressed with the outcome. Quick question, I noticed that you also have a kind of bump out where abs and chest meet.....what is that? It's definitely a question I want to ask when I do my research. Best of Luck!!

7 week pic
7 weeks and results still keep coming. Some scar tissue present on flanks, however, on left side more prominent due to previous non related surgery.

Great results for 7 weeks looks like the next few you will see some big changes hopefully
Thanks for sharing on RealSelf and for posting pics. I like your tip about doing the procedure in winter to help manage the CG issues. Your pics are great!
